Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I feel "off" even when things are going well?
You have a "Sense of Not Being Fully Aligned." This is a subtle signal that one of your systems (usually Identity or Safety) isn't fully "landing" in your current situation. Naming this "lack of alignment" without trying to "fix" it immediately is a Structural Move. It allows the feeling to exist as "background data" rather than a "crisis of meaning." You can be "mostly aligned" and still live a very high-density life.
What should I do when I feel "off" but don't know why?
Practice Non-Intervention. Acknowledge the feeling: "Alignment is not currently at 100%." Then, continue with your chosen high-density tasks. Often, alignment returns on its own as you finish loops and provide your body with evidence of competence and safety. By not "obsessing" over the "off" feeling, you prevent it from becoming a new Avoidance Loop.
